You could use that cam "BUT" a less aggressive lobe center would do better - 115-117
You will easily eclipse the 600 RWHP mark you are seeking or you could aim to keep it there or around the 650 mark and be really safe
Thanks,Matt

Moral of the story....control yourself and you will have a blast, don't control yourself and your wallet will go for the ride of its life.
Best statement of this thread.
I remember my tuner cautioning me not to go to Vegas with what I couldn't afford to lose, when I inquired about max boost.
I've definitely had fun over the years with my cars. There is no mistakin though that it costs an absolute fortune by the time all is said and done unless you're the type to be happy with 500-600 hp (and that's just not me).
Drag racing has always been my cup of tea which definitely drives up the cost. Forged/upgraded trans, diff, convertor, etc, etc, cage, trailer, tow vehicle, etc.
You can spend as much as you like. At a certain point you just have to decide what you want out of the car. I'm not there yet.
I regret buying a t-trim and not a ysi up front. I sure as hell don't regret maxing that t-trim out on a stock bottom end. I knew it wouldn't last forever, but lasted more than 2 years for a TON of passes. I'm also glad I did the 8-rib stuff right off the bat.
